This ten night itinerary is perfect for anyone wishing to uncover Mexico's vibrant cultural past as well as enjoy some beach time on the sandy coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Navigate ancient ruins enveloped by bustling streets in Mexico City, before taking in colonial Merida where you can discover hidden cenotes and the ancient ruins of Uxmal. You'll then explore the iconic site of Chichen Itza and head down to the coast, where you can soak up Mexico's famous blazing sunshine on the beaches of Tulum. A trip to the Tulum ruins is absolutely unmissable, as is a relaxing trip to idyllic Akumal. This itinerary has everything, from ruins to beach to cultural cities, it's the ideal trip for your first time to this magical country.

Days 1 - 4 : Mexico City and Around, Mexico

A hub of cultural excellence, exceptional cuisine and traditional heritage, Mexico City has become a trendy hotspot for travellers of all ages. With plenty of preserved colonial buildings to admire, historical museums to peruse and bustling plazas filled with live music and street stalls to explore, Mexico City provides a cultural city break unlike any other. During your time here, take a guided tour of Puebla, where Mexican cuisine truly comes alive and crowds are fewer. For a more romantic experience, take a trip to Teotihuacan for an optional sunrise balloon ride over the ancient ruins.

Days 4 - 6 : Merida, Yucatan Peninsula

The second stop on your trip will be Merida; the Yucatan Peninsula's inland capital. You'll take an early flight from Mexico City to ensure you make the most of your stay. Boasting beautiful colonial streets, quaint plazas and traditional hacienda hotels, it offers a perfect insight into the world of cultural Mexico. Other than exploring the city by foot, you may also wish to visit the Celestun Biosphere to spot dancing pink flamingos on an estuary tour, or perhaps you'd prefer some more history at the World Heritage Site of Uxmal.

Day 6 - 7 : Chichen Itza, Yucatan

A short drive from Merida brings you to Chichen Itza, some of Mexico's most iconic ruins. We recommend spending a night in the surrounding jungle so you can enter the site before the crowds and continue your journey to the beach.

Days 7 - 11 : Tulum, Yucatan Peninsula

It's beach time! You will be picked up from your hotel and will take a guided tour of the one of the world's wonders; the magnificent Chichen Itza. In the afternoon, you will continue your drive down to the beautiful town of Tulum. Here stands an ancient citadel of iconic ruins perched on a cliff-top overlooking a sugar sand beach and glittering turquoise waters. As you enter the site, you'll wander through meandering paths surrounded by tropical flora and fauna. Season permitting, you may even be able to see turtles on one of the more secluded beaches that hug the cliff-line.

There will be plenty of time to relax on the beach and soak up the sunshine, but if you are itching to get our and explore, which we expect you may be, nearby Akumal offers picturesque white sand beaches and incredible opportunties for snorkelling with turtles, and if you didn't get the chance to jump head first into a cenote, there are many within easy driving distance.
